Per Price Waterhouse 88.4% of CGI goes to their programs, Raj.
Not too bad for a charity, eh?

FDR went to a private high school modeled on the English Public (i.e. private school for the upperclass rich Brits) school system and took vacations to Europe when he was a kid in the late 19th century. And he left us Social Security and ADC. I do not care how rich Hillary is...better her than some neo-con retreads, or worse yet, some asshole who wants to follow the Nazi classification of religious minorities matrix.

I was not referring to Hillary and Bill amassing wealth but their power base and entrenched interests. You really think that these people are pouring in oodles of money into the Clinton Foundation because they like Bill & Hillary, or they yearn for charitable acts?

Some of these people have the wealth to form their own charities 9and probably have) if they are so inclined.

Hillary will nominate Supreme Court justices...I do not care how rich she is. Besides, it is not like the other candidates will not have entrenched supporters behind them.

HOW can you read the hearts of others? For example I honestly believe Bill Gates is sincere in his philanthropic beliefs. For what is worth the people donating to the Clinton Foundation have given more to charity than I have in my life.

Looks like we're going to have two Republicans to choose from come next election.

Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, Clinton called for a "new phase" in the fight against the Islamic State (referred to as ISIS or IS), including a major intensification in a bombing campaign; "ground forces actually taking back more territory;" an "intelligence surge;" and no-fly zones over Syria. "Our goal is not to deter or contain ISIS, but to defeat and destroy ISIS," she said, in an implicit criticism of President Barack Obama as being too tepid on military intervention—and a signal that she intends to tack far to his right.

Since working under Obama's White House—hardly the image of restraint—that's exactly what Clinton has been doing. As Bob and Barbara Dreyfuss pointed out last year, Clinton used her secretary of state role to consistently advocate escalation of military force, from Afghanistan to Libya to Syria, making her the pro-war wing of the Obama administration.

Clinton has only moved further in the militarist direction after exiting the administration, expressing skepticism of the nuclear deal between world powers and Iran, escalating her rhetoric towards Russia, and proclaiming an "unbreakable bond" with the widely-reviled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Speaking in Dallas on Tuesday, Clinton launched an unbridled attack on Bernie Sanders' plan for a single-payer, publicly-funded, universal healthcare program. "I don’t see how you can be serious about raising working and middle class families' incomes if you also want to slap new taxes on them—no matter what the taxes will pay for," she said.

Her statements were followed up by those of top Clinton aides speaking to media outlets. "If you are truly concerned about raising incomes for middle-class families, the last thing you should do is cut their take-home pay right off the bat by raising their taxes,"
